The North Carolina Brewer’s Guild

North Carolina Craft Breweries • North Carolina is the state of Southern beer. If you’re in North Carolina, you’re probably just a few miles from a great craft beer. North Carolina boasts the largest number of craft breweries in the American South, with more than 50 brewpubs and breweries. It is also the most decorated state in the South with more medals from the World Beer Cup and Great American Beer Festival than any of its neighboring states. The North Carolina Brewers Guild seeks to preserve and promote the beer and brewing culture of "The State of Southern Beer." Asheville’s brewing scene sprung up nearly instantly and now boasts a dozen breweries, two micro-brew suppliers, one of the worlds top ranked beer stores and a traveling brewery tour. In all over 50 beers are locally brewed, giving Asheville, North Carolina, the title of "Beer City, USA" three years in a row. The Asheville Brewers Alliance works hard to make sure that local craft beer is promoted and appreciated.

January 25, 2012 • Sierra Nevada Brewing Company is pleased to announce that it has chosen a site in western North Carolina for the future home of an East Coast brewery. The site, in the Henderson County Town of Mills River— along the French Broad River, 12 miles south of Asheville — will be home to the new production facility, as well as a proposed restaurant and gift shop. “We are thrilled to have found an ideal location in western North Carolina for our second brewery,” says Ken Grossman, founder of Sierra Nevada. “The beer culture, water quality and quality of life are excellent. We feel lucky to be a part of this community.” ~ www.sierranevada.com

Green Man Brewery • www.facebook.com/GreenManBrewing • "Brewing Award winning ales since 1997, Green Man was founded in downtown Asheville, originally as a brew-pub. New ownership and a fresh approach spurred evolutionary change at Green Man in 2010. No longer a brew pub, Green Man was able to focus on production, distribution and growth. With the help of the original brewer, John Stuart, and his team, Green Man has evolved into a respected and well-known brewery, known for consistent, traditional ales with a constant eye on quality."

Highland Brewing Co. • www.facebook.com/HighlandBrewingCompany • "Highland Brewing Company rolled out its first beer kegs in December 1994. Built almost entirely of retrofitted dairy equipment, our original brewery in downtown Asheville could produce up to 6,500 barrels of beer per year. At the new location we now have capacity to brew 30,000 barrels annually with room to grow. Until 1998, our beer was available only in kegs and hand-filled 22-oz. bottles. (We still fill our liter bottles by hand today.) That year, we added a four-head bottling machine which enabled us to start packaging in 12-oz. bottles. In 2002, a used Krones bottling line was installed, capable of filling 7,200 12-oz. bottles per hour. Although we brewed twice daily, four days per week, the demand for our beer continued to exceed the supply."

Amazing craft beer from US breweries establishing regional traditions and styles: the West Coast IPA phenomenon. Hearty Wisconsin lagers. Experimental beers from the Northeast.

Holly Springs, North Carolina

Carolina Brewing Company • www.facebook.com/pages/Carolina-Brewing-Company/106393626067978 • "If you request a porter, do you expect someone to carry your bags? If you were approached by a man carrying a dopplebock, would you run for your life? You shouldn’t. These are just two examples of the more than twenty styles of beer that were commonly available in the United States at the turn of the century. Prohibition and industrialization brought an end to this variety of beer, but now the Carolina Brewing Company is helping to revive these traditional brewing styles. Unlike some fine wines that get better with age, beer is at its peak when it leaves the brewery. All of our beer is produced in small batches for local distribution to ensure that you get the freshest beer possible. Purity is one of our top priorities. We use only four ingredients in our beer, malted barley, hops, yeast and water. Our beer does not contain chemicals or additives of any kind and it is not pasteurized. Our method of brewing is time consuming and our choice of ingredients is expensive. We know it’s worth the extra effort and cost, and we think you’ll agree. Try our tasty liquids and we know that you will taste the quality. We invite you to stop by and meet the people who make the Carolina Brewing Company beer. Please come visit us for a Saturday tour. – Greg, Zee, Van, and Mark"

Weeping Radish Farm Brewery • www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1256443035 • "The Weeping Radish is the Oldest Microbrewery in North Carolina. 25 years ago it was illegal for breweries to sell their own beer directly to consumers; they had to go through a distributor. This made it impossible for microbreweries or small brewpubs to exist. In 1985 Uli Bennewitz went to his local senator and together they passed a bill allowing microbreweries to sell their own beer on site. A year later on the July 4th, 1986 the Weeping Radish Brewery opened for business. Raised in a small village in Bavaria, Uli was determined to bring the high quality beer he was used to across the ocean to North Carolina. A Master Brewer came over from Germany and brewed the first batches of Corolla Gold, Fest, and Black Radish. Strictly adhering to the Reinheitsgebot Purity Law of 1516, all Weeping Radish beers are brewed using hops, malt, yeast and water – no additives, chemicals or preservatives. Our beer list has expanded over the years and currently on draft in the pub we have the OBX Kölsch, IPA 25, and Radler as well as our original Corolla Gold, Fest and Black Radish. And for those of you with a sweet tooth we make a fantastic Root Beer!"

Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina

Outer Banks Brewing Station • www.facebook.com/outerbanksbrewingstation • "I like to think of our pub brewery as a kitchen rather than a factory. I never stop experimenting. Every brew is the result of the culmination of everything I’ve learned about brewing to date. Sort of the way a jazz musician approaches music. Olsch is the only constant, but even there things have changed. Some beers come back by popular demand, so the name comes back, with a general aim at recreating the beer, but then innovation (and necessity), new ingredients, and fresh ideas are incorporated. Such is the luxury of brewing in a beer kitchen rather than a widget factory, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Cheers! Scott Meyer"

Before there was a Roth Brewing Company, the guys started as most new breweries do, with home brewing. After hearing endless rave reviews of their beers, they decided to jump in head first and open this amazing company. It might be said that prophecies were fulfilled on the day that they took up brewing, but only time shall tell. Roth Brewing Company opened its taproom doors on June 12th 2010 with the release of Raleigh Red American Amber Ale. The Red was soon to be followed by FoeHammer, then Forgotten Hollow then in November 2010, Dark Construct.

We use only the finest ingredients and live as local as possible. We are proud of the product we brew and the people for whom we brew it. Our brewery is named for its location and its attitude. Until the railroad came in 1884, Frog level was swampland. By the 30’s and 40’s Frog Level was the hustle & bustle in Waynesville. This was the place where blue collar folks worked hard in factories and warehouses to raise families… to do their part to make Haywood County what it is today. My family & I live and work in Frog Level – I want to do my part to bring Frog Level back to her hustle and bustle! Ours beers will be distinct in their attitude and ingredients, by brewing as much “Haywood County” as possible into each batch."

Whitsett, North Carolina

Red Oak Brewery • www.facebook.com/redoakbrewery • "Red Oak Brew Pub was opened in February of 1991. In addition to brewing according to the Law of Purity, we decided not to filter or pasteurize our Bavarian Lagers to ensure the vitamins remain whole for that rich, mellow taste. Within months of opening the pub we began selling Red Oak to other accounts in the Greensboro area. In no time the 6 original aging tanks were maxed out so we added on to the building and installed 13 new tanks. By 2001 Red Oaks popularity had grown so much that we were brewing 24/7…and out of aging capacity. We began the search for a location to build a larger brewery with space to accommodate future growth."
